Fishes and other aquatic animals live in a unique environment and in-depth knowledge of how water quality will affect biological processes including respiration, nutrition, hydration, excretion and more life-sustaining functions is essential for practicing aquatic veterinary medicine.
 
This presentation will provide an overview of the nitrogen cycle and a number of water quality parameters that affect fish health and disease, and treatment plans. Also covered will be practical ways to evaluate, monitor and correct water quality problems caused by shifts in temperature, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, carbonate hardness, general hardness, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, salinity and other physio-chemical parameters.
 
Speaker: Dr Richmond Loh BSc, BVMS, MPhil (Vet Path), MANZCVS (Aquatic & Path), CertAqV
